Bustier for office Christmas party

153 replies

astronewt · 19/11/2022 09:40

I'm planning to get this bustier from Zara for my office Christmas party, which is black tie/cocktail dress code. (It will come back into stock in time. It WILL.)

What would you pair it with? I'm thinking chandelier earrings not unlike the model's and maybe some wide-leg velvet trousers in a contrasting tone? Shoes? I don't want to wear heels if I can help it.

My bustier still hasn't arrived, and the party is Wednesday 😥Seller has the postage receipt but Royal Mail are being unusually shit right now. OTOH the velvet slippers and earrings have both arrived, and are gorgeous. But I don't know what the hell I'm going to wear if the bustier doesn't arrive tomorrow.

Oh no op!! I’m keeping everything crossed for you

UglyModernWindows · 06/12/2022 07:40

Oh man, I feel for you astronewt 😞 RM strike is causing so much havoc!

I’ve seen the KG shoes in the shops and they are so gorgeous. I love the matching clutch too. If they come in sales, may pick them up!

Summersdreaming · 06/12/2022 07:49

Fingers crossed for you OP!! I'm still waiting for a parcel from 25th Nov 😨but have received some things next day RM it's a gamble at the minute.

Flyinggeesei234 · 06/12/2022 08:04

@astronewt everything crossed that it arrives today for you.

Littlepiggiesinblankets · 06/12/2022 09:59

Argh @astronewt, I hope you get it!

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 06/12/2022 11:29

Hope you get your bustier.

Even when I was young and a size 8 my boobs were probably too big for this bustier but my best friend with no boobs would’ve worn this. The shoes and earrings are glamourous.

Absolutely gorgeous top - Zara is killing it this season. You've just made me look and now I have about £350 in my basket 😁
Did it arrive? Hope it did OP - you will look amazing.

Congrats Op. this thread has made the daily mail!

astronewt · 06/12/2022 17:56

Literally posting from the ZARA queue after I scored this baby in the S in an emergency trip. It fits like a glove. So I shall go to the ball, if slightly less fabulously.

Cannot believe this has made the Fail

Hope that journo is proud of their day’s work Hmm

Fuck sake. Sorry, but I'm not sure you-all are getting a picture now.

I know. Crazy.

A hidden compliment on your fashion choices I would say. Imagine how many people will be buying this outfit now

They won't be able to get their hands on the original bustier; that's for damn sure. I reckon Kurt Geiger owes me commission, though.

I feel about 15 IQ points stupider for reading the intro paragraph to that. I can confirm that my tits are really not bustin' out all over; it finishes quite high, and there isn't even any cleavage.

It's a ridiculous article. I couldn't believe it when I saw it!

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 06/12/2022 18:28

I’m disgusted by the Fail with this article! They’re going all cats bum mouth over the appropriateness of the bustier which is totally ridiculous! Seems like they’re stuck in the 1950s!

Don’t they realise there were hardly any work Christmas parties last year?

Snoopsnoggysnog · 06/12/2022 19:20

The Fail need to fuck off. Do some proper work and report on some real stories
